The Province of Manitoba is asking anyone who visited Club Regent Casino two weeks ago to self-isolate after a person who was there on the afternoon of March 16 — between 1 and 4 p.m. — has tested positive for COVID-19.

Anyone who was there and is experiencing COVID-19-related symptoms is urged to call Health Links at 204-788-8200 for information as to whether they need to get tested.

Manitoba Liquor and Lotteries said Wednesday it’s working to identify casino staff who were working during that time and may have been in contact with the person.
